Sales Revenue and Gross Profit

 

Net sales revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2004 increased 4% as compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2003.  However, more than half of the of the increase was due to sales of Rabon products, a product category not acquired by the Company until the second quarter of last fiscal year.  Net sales revenue from the Company’s pentachlorophenol (“penta”) wood treating chemical was improved over the same period of the prior fiscal year but the Company’s creosote product sales declined in the first quarter of fiscal 2003.  The Company’s penta products are used principally to treat utility poles and its creosote product is used to treat railroad crossties.  Penta results benefited from the price increase in June 2003 and from a modest rise in sales volume but the Company’s creosote sales continued to suffer from a supply shortfall in the northeast United States and because certain railroads specified creosote and oil treating blends as a cost containment measure.  Net sales revenue from the Company’s agricultural chemical products were down but sales of the products are heavily concentrated in the last fiscal quarter during the growing season of the crops to which the products are applied.

 

Gross profit as a percent of sales in the quarter declined to 30.4% for the first quarter of this fiscal year from 33.7% for the same quarter of fiscal 2003 because the Company experienced higher raw material costs and higher creosote purchase costs.  Raw material costs, which reached a peak in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, moderated somewhat in the first quarter.  However, the Company expects those increased costs will affect gross margins adversely over rest of the fiscal year.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of fiscal 2004 were approximately 4.6% higher than in the same quarter of the prior fiscal year.  The increase is due to selling, distribution and regulatory costs associated with the Company’s newly acquired Rabon product category.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The principal balance of the Company’s term loan facility with SouthTrust Bank (“SouthTrust”) was approximately $4.6 million as of October 31, 2003, an increase of $3.3 million over the prior year.  The Company’s purchase for $3.8 million of the Rabon product category was the cause of that increase since the purchase was provided for by a refinance of the Company’s existing term loan facility with that bank.  The principal amount of the loan is being amortized monthly over ten years but the maturity date is December 20, 2007.  The loan carries interest at a varying rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.8%.  However, in February 2003, the Company entered into an interest rate swap transaction with SouthTrust which effectively fixed the interest rate at 5.0% for the remainder of the term.  Also as of October 31, 2003 the Company had no borrowings under its revolving loan with SouthTrust and its borrowing base availability under that loan was $3.5 million.  Management believes that the term loan and the revolving credit facility adequately provide for the Company’s anticipated need for liquidity and capital resources in fiscal 2004 for the Company’s current operations.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

New Accounting Rules

 

Effective August 1, 2002, the Company adopted a statement promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”  As a result, amortization expense decreased by approximately $23,000 per month.  See Note 1 to the “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.”

 

In February 2003, SFAS No. 148 was issued, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation:  A Comparison of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and Its Related Interpretations, and IASB Proposed IFRS, Share-based Payments.”  SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123 to provide alternative methods of transition for an entity that voluntarily changes to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation.  It also amends the disclosure provisions of that Statement to require prominent disclosure about the effects on reported net income of an entity’s accounting policy decisions with respect to stock-based compensation.  The Company has chosen not to voluntarily change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation but has adopted the disclosure rules of SFAS No. 148.

 

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” The adoption of SFAS No. 149 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 150 “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity.” This statement requires issuers to classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability instead of equity.  The adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented.  The significant accounting principles that we believe are the most important to aid in fully understanding our financial results are the following:

 

Revenue Recognition – The Company essentially has only one revenue recognition transaction in which the Company’s chemical products sold in the open market are recognized as revenue as risk of loss and title to the products transfer to customers, which usually occurs at the time a shipment is made.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - The Company provides an allowance for accounts receivable it believes it may not collect in full.  A provision for bad debt expense recorded to selling, general and administrative expenses increases the allowance.  Accounts receivable that are written off the Company’s books decrease the allowance.  The amount of bad debt expense recorded each period and the resulting adequacy of the allowance at the end of each period are determined using a combination of the Company’s historical loss experience, customer-by-customer analyses of the Company’s accounts receivable balances each period and subjective assessments of the Company’s future bad debt exposure.

 

Inventories - - Inventories consist primarily of raw materials and finished goods that the Company holds for sale in the ordinary course of business.  It uses the first-in, first-out method to value inventories at the lower of cost or market.   Management believes the Company has not incurred impairments in the carrying value of its inventories.

 

12



 

Impairment of Long-lived Assets - The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets held and used and assets to be disposed of, including supply contracts and other intangible assets, at least annually or when events and circumstances warrant such a review.  The carrying value of long-lived assets are evaluated for potential impairment on a product line basis.  The Company has concluded on the basis of its evaluation that the long lived assets are not impaired.

 

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

 

The Company is exposed to certain market risks arising from transactions that are entered into in the ordinary course of business, primarily from changes in foreign exchange rates.  The Company generally does not utilize derivative financial instruments or hedging transactions to manage that risk.  However, the Company did enter into an interest rate swap transaction in February, 2003 that effectively fixed the interest rate on its term loan at 5.0% for the remainder of the loan’s term.  An increase or decrease in interest rates would not affect the Company’s earnings or cash flow over the life of the term loan because the interest rate swap serves to fix the interest rate at 5.0%.   Should the financial market’s expectations for interest rates in the future increase then the value of the swap, recorded as an asset on the consolidated balance sheets, would increase.  Conversely, a drop in the financial market’s expectations for future interest rates would cause a drop in the value of that recorded asset.  It is possible that the future expectations for interest rates could decline enough to cause the swap to be recorded no longer as an asset, but as a liability, until the swap expires.

 

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

Within 90 days prior to the filing of this report, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures was performed.  Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that material information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported by management of the Company on a timely basis in order to comply with the Company’s disclosure obligations under the Securities Exchange Act and the rules of the SEC.  There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

 

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

 

The Company is not a party to any material legal actions or proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, and it does not believe any such actions or proceedings will have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations or financial position.
